Ljubljana Brnik is the closest one. (Ryanair was sometimes using Maribor.) Then Trieste. Or some airports in Austria (Graz, Klagenfurt, Salzburg, ...) Venezia should be fine if you are ok traveling a bit: you could reach me or Aljaž with a train for 10 EUR in cca. 2 hours. Or take a GoOpti shuttle to Ljubljana. (From my or Aljaž's place it's approximately 2 hours of driving to reach Bohinj or any other destination close to the mountains. If we pick the coast, it's a lot closer.)

Besides, Serbian uses cyrillic, so I tried a transliteration a bit at random. Serbians cannot decide whether to use the Latin on Cyrillic script, to be precise. People use both scripts at random and have different preferences each. So in contrast to Russian, the transliteration to the Latin script is well defined. (During the last meeting we had to get a visa for someone from Ukraine and he wasn't sure what his transliterated name would be until he got his new Passport – just for the meeting ;) I'm not fluent in the language and I understand what you wanted to say, but the transliterated(?) sentence still sounds wrong.

If it’s scheduled enough in advance, I might be able to haul my rump out of my Paris' office and join you for one day or two, as that’d be fun. While most others say that it's too early to say ;) Do you have any blueprint yet? Do you mean any idea about the programme and/or exact time location? Location: another MacPorter lives nearby and we are willing to organize the event together, in the middle of Europe. We could choose between close to the sea and in the mountains. I would certainly like to avoid the cities and try to organize the event somewhere in the nature (but still making sure that they would have a decent internet connection). My preference is somewhere closer to the mountains (I have a few particular places in mind). Time: Somewhere between March and September, ideally end of August (at the end of August one can still go swimming if we pick location next to a lake, while it's not so awfully hot any more). We could pick the dates together, but that only makes sense if enough people commit to come soon enough. I would suggest something like Wednesday evening - Sunday afternoon which would give us three full days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). Possibly a bit more, depending on what we want to achieve and how problematic people find it to take free days at work. End of august would also make perfect timing for students from GSOS to present their work (but of course that depends from which part of the globe they come). Programme: (should be well prepared in advance, but it's too soon to talk about details now) Anyway, here's my idea about how it could be. Morning: one or two talks about what developers did (maybe presenting the new website, the new statistics collection website, etc.). After the coffee break some round tables about topics chosen in advance. It's hard to tell one year in advance what will be the burning issues by then, but some examples include: - is there any way we could set up some funding mechanisms; do we need that - new website, new statistics website - what to do with packaging Perl modules - what could be done to make trac more efficient (in not forgetting tickets after three days for example) - what could be done to allow more committers - ways to optimize the output from the buildbots - what to do with C++11 software in pre-10.9; should we put extra libraries to a special place - should we set up buildbots for 10.6-10.8/libc++ - do we need openmaintainer or not (should openmaintainer be opt-in or opt-out) - way to retire defunct packages (which currently stay there broken forever) - dealing with nomaintainer ports - release cycles: ways to simplify making a release, should we release more often, ... - creating a top priority list to work on during the next few months - ... Lunch, possibly continue these discussions on fresh air after lunch. Afternoon: hacking sessions behind computers, working on pre-defined topics (discussed before the meeting). One example: I would like the ports which fetch from git or svn to store the checkout in a tar.gz/.bz2/.xz file, so that the next time there will be no need to checkout everything again, just extract the archive. It's relatively simple to do, but I don't have enough tcl knowledge to do it, while I'm sure that there would be enough developers capable of implementing this at the meeting. The idea would be to sit together with such a developer, implement a feature, commit it ... Evening: beer and optional ticket closing sessions together with those who were unable to attend. The idea would be to organize the meeting with close to zero overhead (no printing of conference materials or other junks; T-shirts only if requested), just go to a nice budget hotel with internet connection and a room for a meeting and have fun together.

MacPorts Developer Meeting?
Hi, I'm curious how many people would be willing and able to join if we organized a 3-5 day long developer meeting somewhere in the heart of Europe (somewhere close to public transportation, but outside of city centers, somewhere in nature). Let's assume that we could reach a price of 100 EUR (let's say 30 EUR/day) with all costs included (that is: lodging, food, conference room rental, so you would only need to cover travel expenses in addition to that). This means: - finding a time slot when most people would be able to attend - making a reservation at some inexpensive holiday site - make sure they have good internet connection and a room with enough tables and chairs - collect reservations, prepare a (flexible) program - bring yourself and your mac to the site (- and maybe finding a sponsor to give us access to a high speed multi core mac during those few days to be able to compile things faster ;) The meeting would cover: - getting to know each other - some talks about amazing things you did, would like to do or would like to see done - brainstorming, round table with discussion about new ideas and future - hacking sessions, ticket closing marathon - enough free time to enjoy nature: walks or maybe some field trips around If we could get some 10-20 people to attend (and at least someone from portmgr), it could be an amazing experience.

I was trying to figure out if there was any information about username-continent written somewhere, but couldn't find anything. mpbot in IRC has some locations, but obviously not all devs are there and not all that are have their locations and timezones registered at the herald bot. -- Clemens Lang ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
Re: MacPorts Developer Meeting?
Hi all, I like the idea of the face-to-face meeting of the Macports community. The sketch of the possible program sound reasonable. We definitely should have some first I idea of the no. of participants. Having it in two different locations + video conf. has some coolness factor but on the other hand might be somewhat dispersive and loose momentum, which probably is a bit contradictory with respect to the original goal. We meet already online regularly. I would definitely like to participate, but of cause this is always (and that is probably always true) conditioned by a lot of other factors (professional and private involvements). If it comes to the location, for me Europe would definitely be easier. I currently reside in Italy, but other locations in Europe are highly relevant to me as well. So let's get a first number, there one count for me! ~petr On 4 Apr 2014, at 21:22, Mojca Miklavec mo...@macports.org wrote: Hi, I mentioned Europe for obvious reasons: because it's way cheaper (for Europeans) to take a train or car than to fly to San Francisco.

Re: MacPorts Developer Meeting?
Hello everyone! I’d love to meet others in the community. Since me and Mojca live pretty close together, I can give you a hand organizing. And hey, we’re at three members residing in (or really close to) Italy! :) On 04 aprile 2014 at 23:32:07, Peter Danecek (peter.dane...@bo.ingv.it) wrote: Hi all, I like the idea of the face-to-face meeting of the Macports community.

I think fkr collected some info for the xglobe port - but I don't think it's been updated in forever (it's nomaintainer now...) mpbot also has some location data. - Josh ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev

Let's assume that we could reach a price of 100 EUR (let's say 30 EUR/day) with all costs included (that is: lodging, food, conference room rental, so you would only need to cover travel expenses in addition to that). This means: - finding a time slot when most people would be able to attend - making a reservation at some inexpensive holiday site - make sure they have good internet connection and a room with enough tables and chairs - collect reservations, prepare a (flexible) program - bring yourself and your mac to the site (- and maybe finding a sponsor to give us access to a high speed multi core mac during those few days to be able to compile things faster ;) The meeting would cover: - getting to know each other - some talks about amazing things you did, would like to do or would like to see done - brainstorming, round table with discussion about new ideas and future - hacking sessions, ticket closing marathon - enough free time to enjoy nature: walks or maybe some field trips around If we could get some 10-20 people to attend (and at least someone from portmgr), it could be an amazing experience. Any interest? (I'm thinking about 2015.) Mojca Sounds great, but unfortunately I'm unlikely to be able to attend. - Josh ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
